It never ceases to amaze us how many communities and neighborhoods make up the San Francisco Bay Area - we can spend every weekend exploring new places and only see a fraction of what is here. We spent the afternoon today exploring Alameda - starting with a couple fun stops on the Alameda Backyard Chicken Coop Tour where Kaiya pet some chickens, followed by a quick stop at the Alameda Marketplace where we picked up some tasty fried chicken, roasted beets and garlic noodles from Culina and a baguette and cookies from Feel Good Bakery, a drive down Park Street where it looks like the most interesting restaurants and shops in Alameda are (including Dan's Fresh Produce that Opportunity Fund just made a loan to), and then a stroll along the Alameda beach enjoying the view of San Francisco and watching people play in the water and fly kites.
